Day 27 – Inspired by Artwork – Chihuly

Today’s mani was inspired by my favorite artist, Dale Chihuly. Even if you don’t know who he is, chances are, you’ve seen his art at some point. He is an extremely talented glass sculptor, and his pieces are beyond amazing. I actually accidentally got to meet him last April at the Museum of Fine Art in Boston when I went to see his exhibit! His most famous piece is probably one some of you are familiar with – the ceiling at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas.

Anyway, on to the nail art. For these, I attempted a new technique to replicate his most popular type of piece – the glass flower ceiling. I used drops of acetone to spread the polish on my nails to make them look like watercolors. They didn’t turn out exactly as I had hoped, but I still like them, especially since they were my first attempt.
